Speech data for the languages other vendors can’t reach.

We collect consented audio and language data for teams building speech recognition, text-to-speech and voice AI. Our focus is niche European languages, Eastern European languages and Arabic dialects, recorded by real native speakers.

Also available: egocentric POV video data, ready-made or collected to order.

Our specialty is the languages that are hard to source.

Finding, verifying and recording native speakers of smaller languages and regional dialects is slow work. It is the work we are built for, and we deliver it at scale.

Northern and Western Europe 11 languages

Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean 4 languages

Arabic dialects 8 dialects

Regional varieties 4 varieties

These are our focus. We have delivered 80+ locales in total. Ask us about the language you need.
